Imaging Vector Magnetograph


The Imaging Vector Magnetograph (IVM) at Mees Solar Observatory on Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii measures the polarization of an absorption line in the solar spectrum, and uses the polarization data to map the vector magnetic field in the solar photosphere. The IVM observes a region about 203,000 km square on the sun.
